A religious fog has tried to veil all that, put us under some sort of spell or amnesia, to keeup us from coming alive.

    John Eldredge (2008). “Eldredge 3 in 1 - Sacred Romance , Waking the Dead, Desire”, p.260, Thomas Nelson Inc

  • But in the end, back she comes. There's no use resisting. She goes to him for amnesia, for oblivion. She renders herself up, is blotted out; enters the darkness of her own body, forgets her name. Immolation is what she wants, however briefly. To exist without boundaries.

    Names   Darkness   Use  
    Margaret Atwood (2007). “The Blind Assassin: A Novel”, p.261, Anchor
  • Every woman who has had experience with sexual violence of any kind has not just pain, and not just hurt, but has knowledge. Knowledge of male supremacy. Knowledge of what it is. Knowledge of what it feels like. And can begin to think strategically about how to stop it. We are living under a reign of terror. Now what I want to say is that I want us to stop accepting that that's normal. And the only way that we can stop accepting that that's normal is if we refuse to have amnesia everyday of our lives.

You must know, rest in, think through, and act upon your new identity – you are in Christ

    Spiritual   Real   Heart

The feeling that comes before the plot’s been learned.

  • Memory is corrupted and ruined by a crowd of memories. If I am going to have a true memory, there are a thousand things that must first be forgotten. Memory is not fully itself when it reaches only into the past. A memory that is not alive to the present does not remember the here and now, does not remember its true identity, is not memory at all. He who remembers nothing but facts and past events, and is never brought back into the present, is a victim of amnesia.

    Thomas Merton (2007). “New Seeds of Contemplation”, p.106, New Directions Publishing

The predominance of the disimagination machine in American society, along with its machinery of social death and historical amnesia, seeps into in all aspects of life, suggesting that young people and others marginalized by class, race and ethnicity have been abandoned.

And as the Digital Age and our post-literate society implant a terrifying historical amnesia, these crimes are erased as swiftly as they are committed.

  • My father tutored me well on amnesia. He always said it was a necessary ingredient for any friendship. (Kiara)
